July SOth nnder march ing orders, tents struck, and nearly every thing pucked up ready to embark 0(1 the Gulf Steamer, , Tamaulipas, for some where. After we got a-board, Icirned it was to DBcbphine Island on the coast of Alabama, Id the' vicinity of Forts Pow el, Gaibes. and Morgan, had ;a pleasan' vpyngo, laoaed :on the toot of the island Aug. 8, Jute , in ,the. evening, ten tniles west of Fort Guinea, marched eight miles that tight up the Gulf beach through one; of the hardest' storms . of rain and wind, nart of the timo.by tho flank and for a corj9 -derablo distance in the line of battle, had skiitois')CTS nrow,n out in our front but the wind add rain caused them to oblique too much to the , loft, and the firstling we kuew we were in front and to the left, found the skirmish Jine Jothe left and away to the rear of us received orders to put out pickets, He down on our, arms in line and make ourselves as comfortable as prsenble under the circumstances, you can imagine how very comfortable we were lying down on the wet sand and in wet qlotbing, but that i nothing (or old soldiers; they undergo all difficulties without a murmur, awoke at day-, light, got up made coffee and advanced, found the rebs pickets witliiu one mile of Fort Gaines, had someslight skirmishing but no casualties on our side'i advanced O'ir line of battle end dug rifle pits. The next, uiorqing( Aug. 5th) the Rebs iponed on Us from the guns, of the Fort with shell but did ro damage, the blockading Squadron of 'Admiral Farragut was operating in conjunction with . our land force in command of, Maj-Gen Gordon a ranger, and between 9 and 10 o'clock M. be, with hiB fleet, "tarred to run the bock ado frbm'the Gulf into Mobile Bay Under , tjii) guns of Forts Gaines and Morgap. and got through with thtf loss 6f two vessels.1 the Monitor Tecumseh, and a small Tup; boat, the rebs had the mouth of t,he IVay (a pass) planted with torpedoes, and the Tecumseh ran on on of them which exploded and opened her so that she went out of sight in fifteen seconds, and 120 of her brnve officers ndcrew with her. Only fifteen persons were saved that were on board at the me of the fatal disaster. Admiral Far ragut says lid' did not expect to get through without, more loss than he us tained. On the 6th Fort Powell evacuated,! aud. thai afternoon the Admiral ran up within easy raDgo of Fort Gaines arid threw si few shots with good effect, 7th' early ,in"thb morning, there was a Pag of truce, cabie" to our picket line re questing a cossation ot hostilities and twentjffqiir r.ptirs time to consider i surrender, whicfy.wns'granted. i On the 8th our command, was marched up . in Tom Of the Fort which mado a formal surren der, 725 men, 40 officers, 1400 stand pf small arms, befweeti ?5 and 8Q ?nnon, and a nuantity of ammunition and cora- missary stores., ;i (it - .j i '. On the morning of the Hth the Brig ade embarked on tranoports,-. and were cafrjed. across, tb,e Bay and landed on Mobile roiqtfour m'lcs east and in the rear of Fort Morgan. Tho 86th was the first Regt. rd',dl4embark'.' expected to be attacked while ' nettins off the boat . as there"' was a pine forest and thick un dbrbrubh; where we landed, a good cover for the enemy, formod in line quickly. threw out skirmishers, and advanced to wards the Fort, marched , in , thai order for' 11 miles,, then gpt, the -order , from General Granger to deploy the whole regiment as skirmishers across the Pen insula, or Pointand advance until we drow tho Mbmies , fire, that order, wat obeyed to , the letter. never Saw a line of skirmishers advance more fearlessly, When wtl got witntn One thousand yards of the Fort they openod on us with shell from the j?uns on the, Fort. . Ae were then ordered to halt and dig pit for our protection, were relieved about 9 P. M. by the 94th 111. Regt., and marched bacic to the rear one mile and bivouacd in the stud, and bef-iro morning got a soaking rain. That night the 04th advanced the nieket line and du'sr a line of Rifle Tits, and we liave been advancing the Pit and Parallels and planting Batteries and Mortora from thrt time until yestor-day morning,' got all ready and opened on the Fort, and such a bombarding and shilling 'as Gen, Page and hiB Garrison got yestciday and last night. I never saw. Viol; burg was nothing to compare to it, bad 18 Mortare, 9 .thirty-pOund Pirrotl Siege Guns, 4 eight-inch PalgreenS, 2 light Batteries; fin Innd,. and - the guns front the fleet, 3 loaitora and 11 or 12 . Men-of? War playing on the Fort at trie same time, yon an imagine it was hot ipsidt the Fort. Tboro was a lirje Ere last night iu the Fort caught from ou shells, and one this morning. Shortly after the fire broke out this morning they fan np the white flag. I have not been up to thd Fort but there are 650 prisoners of War, a large amount of cm-non and small arms, ordinance, commis sary, quarter-masters stores. 1 shall have a chance to go up to day and see the Fort. Fort Morgan is said to be the secood best Fort in the United States, next to Fortress Monroe, and is again in our hands. They had six months pro visions, and when the siege commenced Gen. Page boasted that he could hold it that long, but we reduced it in jnst two weeks and did not have a single mad killed and but a few wounded. They had bomb proof Wracks in the fort or they Would have been but few left to tell the tale. It was a magnificent sight to see those mortar shells ascend high In the aif then fall and explode right in the fcrt, and so. fast, a perfect stream of fire ascending ttnd deeending aH the time during the eight. The nest move pnbably will be on Mobile though we do not know certain. The Infantry foroe, hero, is small, one brigade not sufficient, we think, to nuke an attack on that strongholdof treason, though there may be a force from some other point to conneot with ours, in case an attack is made, but I must close. Your friend, GEO.Mot'lurg Fort Jlorgan Oars. MobiTe Point, Atlanta, . 96th 0. vT. I., Aug. 23d, Mr; Editor. The iipporUntono-i'nwhioh was to have arrove, bag airn'cn; Fort Morgan is ours, she surrendered this morning about nine o'clock, uncondition ally, but net without a day and night of steady and terrific bombardment, from the va-al and land laltem'es, and mortar; the mortart are what played thunder with vhe calculations of Gen. i'a.the commander of the Fort. And by this time, the rro arc on their winding way to New Orleans. It is now two weeks to-day since we began to siege the Fort, add ad vancing nightly upon then, often digihg rifle pits Bight after olgliVthrouh rains and hot sun, the men who have done the w rk are not allowed tbe privilege of visiting the place for fear that it would make the rebels feci bad. The rcund and hearty curscaxwhich have weutnpagainst the officers, or ofEcer,'were not blow to-day, two regiments who have been standing back have gone up to keep the boys from seeing perhaps these regiments are stationed there for fear of being attacked in the rear, and now want to be out of harms dnnger, but these regiments who have done the hard labor toward the capturing of Fort MorgnP) have to stand back, "like a dumb boy at a frolic," Now as soon as tho 96th Ohio get a hired correspondent to puff it up. and its officers,as other regimoets have.then some of these loolie will not forget the 96th when a good time comes off, to garruon. or stay and feather-bed it in some tsity a while, but they seem to think and even forget the er is such a Regiment, when not on a campaign.- But as soon as danger is nigh, or fighting or skirmishing in front, the first thing then is the cry from these officers,' "where is the 96th, pnt them ahead, you can rely on them. Col. Brmrn, take the lead!" And as soon as thoy get our Rogimont started, then these Brigadiers limber to the rerir, and nothing is seen of thorn until the fight is over. And then they cry did'nt we fix them eftowtf "m and Betty killed a bear, fwJge."-: ... .... Now, some rogiments have the honor and many folks at home believe that they aotually have done wonden, that were never near the fight, or ever within can son shot of the battle ground: by these paid correspondents, who make a record hnd name for them when they cannot do it themselves, the less a Regimont does, and the less some Generals and Colonels do the more praise they get.' And I think that if the 96th, and officers, ever want any of this so called fame, they will have to follow the example of a fow pet Regi ments, and do nothing. If they don't. the War Department will forget there was evef such a Regiment, and when , the eoreing ynr is out, they will forget to muster out the boys, by the way an im portant item to some of us. - At no place, country, town, or village, can it be said that tho 96th ha Wantonly destroyed property, but hat the name of being one of the most orderly, peaccabl regiments, in the service, that is admitted by all, cititens, and Regiments. r sc. that to make some of the leather heads not forget us, is to follow Am, and other Regiment example, ffrttfto to the rear in time of dancer, and in the course of time our Regiment will be an A No, in the estimation of some. Tor day I paid a visit to tTTo Fort, aod it was a well battered concern, but how the rebels stood tb at day and night's bom barding, is a mystery, for if there ever tas a finJem'mivM oa earth, it wis in that rort but as it was, a very few was killed, and wounded, owing to tho (hick wall, and so much sand covered over tltem a shell could not penetrate, and they stuck olose to their holes, but they . say they thought all the devils in h II, were let loose upon them. But the essence of meanness was con centrated in Gen. Page, the hoary-head ed old sinner, traitor and deserter, from our regular service, who commanded the Fort. Nothing wasnionn enough for bun to do. after or a little before so jdcriog he burned and destroyed a'l thi t could; ho spiked all pieces he could get at; which is contrary te all honorable warfare, among civilized natiobs, and I learn that the penalty is deat'. I say let it, the pen .ilty, be carried put; he was sent nqder speoial guard, to New Orleans. tor a roan who wants to be a great General, and Confederate hero, to be guilty of such meanness would Walk five miles in a dark and Stormy night, to' de prive a blind sheep of ltd fodder, yea, would do worse, would lick the molasses off of a Biok nigger babys corn cake, and kick it for more; let justice be done him. The Fort is ours, with quite a large number of large seige guns of the best quality, together with 18, 15 inoh guns some 11 inch, 20, 82 poundors, ninety in all I learn from tie guards, they are all now in our hands, and soon will put ' in order for use. Also, one of Whitworths celebrated pieces, in faot till fell into Uncle Sam's hands. , , .".'..',,',. We are now ready, or waiting to em bark for some place unknown, to the pri vates, but I suppose the 96th is on its Way lo build up a reputation for other Regiment, who cannot make one frr themsel.es. Oh, what an aooommodatms rogimont ours is, they want no glory,' no fame, no nothing, only to geo other Regi ments enjoying the fruits of our labor.- Wo are all well, you' may hear from us I expect next at Atlanta, perhaps not, but we are some on marching. - Reynolds. . McClellan's Friends. From the New York Trlbnno, ; , " ,, ,'.' The rioters who held on? city in sit'CB dnrlngthreo days of - JtrltV r863 who burned the Colored Orphan Asylum, turn- mr two of three hundred, helpless nud inoffensive children into tbe street, who, in gangs of one to three hundred, hnntcd simple negro boys . and woman through the streets, maining, robbing and killing as many as they could of them are all hot for McClellan. They paused in their devilish work, and ;went around to his house to cheer for him. That portion of the gang who mobbed, sacked and set on fire the Tribune office were constantly shouting for McClellan. Their ringleader while among his confidential cronies, pro claimed himself for Jeff. Davis, and boasted that wo should soon see Gen. Lee marohincr up Broadway at the head of a triumphant, invincible army of Confederates, yet in public cheered end exhorted others to cheer for McCloIlan. ''8500 reward to who ever will show us a Black Hepubl:can;'' was chalked on the ppO- site fence almost simultaneously with the burning out of the young orphans. AH who participated in those cowardly, ruf fianly, murderous riots are now shouting themselves hoarse over the nomination of McClellan. i: .-n-; ' There are 'n this - city thousands: of Southern refugees as well as citizens of long standing who do not affect to disguise their intense and unqualified sympathy with the slaveholder's robollion. Many of tbem affect to regard the triumph of Republicans as tho real revo't and esteem the Southern resistance thereto, . legiti mate and proper. ' One ef the Roman Catholic journals, for example, habitually peaks of the President of the United States as "Old Abe," while it carefully tyles the chief of the rebels "President Davis." Everyone who thus regards the Government und the rebollion through inverted classes is a zealoua supporter of McClellan.' For instance: the name of Honrr Orinnell has repeatedly appeared in the Richmond journals as that of a tl 0 (Tugh fVmpathizer with "tbe South"iu her struggle against "Abolition despot ism." Mr. tinnnells namo naturally appears on tbe list of Vice Presidents of the Mcuienan raiincaiion meeiintr. xur, Richard Lathers wrote a letter, late in 1864, intimating -that ho was ready to ficht for hir native Smith Carolina when ever she should cnll him to the field. Mr. Lathers has sineo had Gen McCloIl an as a truest at his country residence, and his name also appears on the list of Vice Presidents of the McClellan ratify ing meeting in the Park. Tin Richmond Examiner has Bhowo itself a true prophet in ene instance at least. In its issue of August 31st, it said: J If Atlanta were to fall, or Petersburg, or if Sheridan should drive Early back to Lynchburg or if any tone of these events should befall, then all the peace Drincinles and teaco Presidents of Chi, oaoo. nould be at the election next No vember wheve last year's snow It, and list night s moonshine. : , ; -o o : rOREIGI fcOLD.

Shortly after the fire broke out this morning they fan np the white flag. I have not been up to thd Fort but there are 650 prisoners of War, a large amount of cm-non and small arms, ordinance, commis sary, quarter-masters stores. 1 shall have a chance to go up to day and see the Fort. Fort Morgan is said to be the secood best Fort in the United States, next to Fortress Monroe, and is again in our hands. They had six months pro visions, and when the siege commenced Gen. Page boasted that he could hold it that long, but we reduced it in jnst two weeks and did not have a single mad killed and but a few wounded. They had bomb proof Wracks in the fort or they Would have been but few left to tell the tale. It was a magnificent sight to see those mortar shells ascend high In the aif then fall and explode right in the fcrt, and so. fast, a perfect stream of fire ascending ttnd deeending aH the time during the eight. The nest move pnbably will be on Mobile though we do not know certain. The Infantry foroe, hero, is small, one brigade not sufficient, we think, to nuke an attack on that strongholdof treason, though there may be a force from some other point to conneot with ours, in case an attack is made, but I must close. Your friend, GEO.Mot'lurg Fort Jlorgan Oars. MobiTe Point, Atlanta, . 96th 0. vT. I., Aug. 23d, Mr; Editor. The iipporUntono-i'nwhioh was to have arrove, bag airn'cn; Fort Morgan is ours, she surrendered this morning about nine o'clock, uncondition ally, but net without a day and night of steady and terrific bombardment, from the va-al and land laltem'es, and mortar; the mortart are what played thunder with vhe calculations of Gen. i'a.the commander of the Fort. And by this time, the rro arc on their winding way to New Orleans. It is now two weeks to-day since we began to siege the Fort, add ad vancing nightly upon then, often digihg rifle pits Bight after olgliVthrouh rains and hot sun, the men who have done the w rk are not allowed tbe privilege of visiting the place for fear that it would make the rebels feci bad. The rcund and hearty curscaxwhich have weutnpagainst the officers, or ofEcer,'were not blow to-day, two regiments who have been standing back have gone up to keep the boys from seeing perhaps these regiments are stationed there for fear of being attacked in the rear, and now want to be out of harms dnnger, but these regiments who have done the hard labor toward the capturing of Fort MorgnP) have to stand back, "like a dumb boy at a frolic," Now as soon as tho 96th Ohio get a hired correspondent to puff it up. and its officers,as other regimoets have.then some of these loolie will not forget the 96th when a good time comes off, to garruon. or stay and feather-bed it in some tsity a while, but they seem to think and even forget the er is such a Regiment, when not on a campaign.- But as soon as danger is nigh, or fighting or skirmishing in front, the first thing then is the cry from these officers,' "where is the 96th, pnt them ahead, you can rely on them. Col. Brmrn, take the lead!" And as soon as thoy get our Rogimont started, then these Brigadiers limber to the rerir, and nothing is seen of thorn until the fight is over. And then they cry did'nt we fix them eftowtf "m and Betty killed a bear, fwJge."-: ... .... Now, some rogiments have the honor and many folks at home believe that they aotually have done wonden, that were never near the fight, or ever within can son shot of the battle ground: by these paid correspondents, who make a record hnd name for them when they cannot do it themselves, the less a Regimont does, and the less some Generals and Colonels do the more praise they get.' And I think that if the 96th, and officers, ever want any of this so called fame, they will have to follow the example of a fow pet Regi ments, and do nothing. If they don't. the War Department will forget there was evef such a Regiment, and when , the eoreing ynr is out, they will forget to muster out the boys, by the way an im portant item to some of us. - At no place, country, town, or village, can it be said that tho 96th ha Wantonly destroyed property, but hat the name of being one of the most orderly, peaccabl regiments, in the service, that is admitted by all, cititens, and Regiments. r sc. that to make some of the leather heads not forget us, is to follow Am, and other Regiment example, ffrttfto to the rear in time of dancer, and in the course of time our Regiment will be an A No, in the estimation of some. Tor day I paid a visit to tTTo Fort, aod it was a well battered concern, but how the rebels stood tb at day and night's bom barding, is a mystery, for if there ever tas a finJem'mivM oa earth, it wis in that rort but as it was, a very few was killed, and wounded, owing to tho (hick wall, and so much sand covered over tltem a shell could not penetrate, and they stuck olose to their holes, but they . say they thought all the devils in h II, were let loose upon them. But the essence of meanness was con centrated in Gen. Page, the hoary-head ed old sinner, traitor and deserter, from our regular service, who commanded the Fort. Nothing wasnionn enough for bun to do. after or a little before so jdcriog he burned and destroyed a'l thi t could; ho spiked all pieces he could get at; which is contrary te all honorable warfare, among civilized natiobs, and I learn that the penalty is deat'. I say let it, the pen .ilty, be carried put; he was sent nqder speoial guard, to New Orleans. tor a roan who wants to be a great General, and Confederate hero, to be guilty of such meanness would Walk five miles in a dark and Stormy night, to' de prive a blind sheep of ltd fodder, yea, would do worse, would lick the molasses off of a Biok nigger babys corn cake, and kick it for more; let justice be done him. The Fort is ours, with quite a large number of large seige guns of the best quality, together with 18, 15 inoh guns some 11 inch, 20, 82 poundors, ninety in all I learn from tie guards, they are all now in our hands, and soon will put ' in order for use. Also, one of Whitworths celebrated pieces, in faot till fell into Uncle Sam's hands. , , .".'..',,',. We are now ready, or waiting to em bark for some place unknown, to the pri vates, but I suppose the 96th is on its Way lo build up a reputation for other Regiment, who cannot make one frr themsel.es. Oh, what an aooommodatms rogimont ours is, they want no glory,' no fame, no nothing, only to geo other Regi ments enjoying the fruits of our labor.- Wo are all well, you' may hear from us I expect next at Atlanta, perhaps not, but we are some on marching. - Reynolds. . McClellan's Friends. From the New York Trlbnno, ; , " ,, ,'.' The rioters who held on? city in sit'CB dnrlngthreo days of - JtrltV r863 who burned the Colored Orphan Asylum, turn- mr two of three hundred, helpless nud inoffensive children into tbe street, who, in gangs of one to three hundred, hnntcd simple negro boys . and woman through the streets, maining, robbing and killing as many as they could of them are all hot for McClellan. They paused in their devilish work, and ;went around to his house to cheer for him. That portion of the gang who mobbed, sacked and set on fire the Tribune office were constantly shouting for McClellan. Their ringleader while among his confidential cronies, pro claimed himself for Jeff. Davis, and boasted that wo should soon see Gen. Lee marohincr up Broadway at the head of a triumphant, invincible army of Confederates, yet in public cheered end exhorted others to cheer for McCloIlan. ''8500 reward to who ever will show us a Black Hepubl:can;'' was chalked on the ppO- site fence almost simultaneously with the burning out of the young orphans. AH who participated in those cowardly, ruf fianly, murderous riots are now shouting themselves hoarse over the nomination of McClellan. i: .-n-; ' There are 'n this - city thousands: of Southern refugees as well as citizens of long standing who do not affect to disguise their intense and unqualified sympathy with the slaveholder's robollion. Many of tbem affect to regard the triumph of Republicans as tho real revo't and esteem the Southern resistance thereto, . legiti mate and proper. ' One ef the Roman Catholic journals, for example, habitually peaks of the President of the United States as "Old Abe," while it carefully tyles the chief of the rebels "President Davis." Everyone who thus regards the Government und the rebollion through inverted classes is a zealoua supporter of McClellan.' For instance: the name of Honrr Orinnell has repeatedly appeared in the Richmond journals as that of a tl 0 (Tugh fVmpathizer with "tbe South"iu her struggle against "Abolition despot ism." Mr. tinnnells namo naturally appears on tbe list of Vice Presidents of the Mcuienan raiincaiion meeiintr. xur, Richard Lathers wrote a letter, late in 1864, intimating -that ho was ready to ficht for hir native Smith Carolina when ever she should cnll him to the field. Mr. Lathers has sineo had Gen McCloIl an as a truest at his country residence, and his name also appears on the list of Vice Presidents of the McClellan ratify ing meeting in the Park. Tin Richmond Examiner has Bhowo itself a true prophet in ene instance at least. In its issue of August 31st, it said: J If Atlanta were to fall, or Petersburg, or if Sheridan should drive Early back to Lynchburg or if any tone of these events should befall, then all the peace Drincinles and teaco Presidents of Chi, oaoo. nould be at the election next No vember wheve last year's snow It, and list night s moonshine. : , ; -o o : rOREIGI fcOLD.
